If America really knew how incompetent this White House is....
the whole country would have diarrhea and shit on themselves... People should not feel safe with this bunch - they should be very afraid. Nobody is watching the fort. Repeat...nobody is watching the fort. They are too busy playing politics and worrying about if they are going to lose power the next election.

1. * approval is at 45 %
imagine that rating with an educated informed population

then again if we had an informed educated population, Kerry would be barnstorming the country on behalf of Wall Street

2. I think someone once said...
America is like a drunk. It has to hit rock bottom before it will be ready for change.

3. Too many are still in a permanent state of denial.
It would be too much for white bread conservative Amerika to take. Many others ask no tough questions beyond what corporate media tells them.

4. That's what the faith-based guy said the first year.
Remember, he resigned and said that it was all politics and no policy.

5. The bush mob wouldn't be there if not for the all but absent US press
the did all they could to put him there, betraying their own eithics and obligations to the very people who's airwaves they pollute for free, and they've done all they can to keep him there.

I will never forget or forgive the media's treachery, and will never again trust anything widely reported as being factual or less than manipulative.

6. I think you are correct about the media..
They knew he was incompetent. They knew he was lying about the WMDs in Iraq. They knew he was lying about his taxbreaks and how it would create "miracles" in the economy. They knew he was lying about Social Security when he brought up the issue of privatization. They knew he was lying about his military service and the National Guard. And they know he is lying about "democracy" taking root in Iraq right now. The reporters themselves cannot get out of their hideouts in their hotel rooms. They cannot travel for fear of being shot. Some are paying up to $35,000 just to get a ride from their hotel to the Baghdad airport. Things are much worse than they were a year ago but they won't tell you the truth.

7. Actually I think that they are extremely
competent. They are doing exactly what they set out to do, dismanteling America piece by piece. They want to undo any program that could help the average person and by spending like drunken sailors they are accomplishing their goal. If there was a real media in this country people would know but it is being done with a smile and in the name of their god.

8. I agree that they dismantling America by design....
But I don't think they understand the degree of damage they are doing. They want to drown it "in a bathtub", I do not doubt. But they don't understand the effects of their actions. Because it will not only destroy their political enemies, it will destroy them also. They are committing suicide but don't realize it, in my opinion.

12. That would be a dream come true
Lincoln may well have been wrong to keep us together. As a series of smaller nations, we'd be more likley to act for a common good. As we are now, the baddest motherfuckers with the biggest dicks on the planet, we have no need to care.

10. They know...
.. but as long as they got their beer, cigarettes, and Fear Factor, everything's just fine.

It is freakin' embarassing to be 'Murican at this point in time.

11. my theory will prove correct
the busheviks stole the 2k election, and the proof was in hard numbers (NORC) due to be published in oct/01....ergo 911!.....911 also burnt the bridges on the mediawhores, forcing them to support bush or suffer doom with him for abetting the republican coup d'etat that had been ongoing since the '96 election....but it's a 'ponzi' scheme that has turned into a race with the devil, and the bushmush media is unable to figger out how to a)do their job w/out destroying geebushinc or b) continue lying w/out destroying themselves ...they've got themselves in remarkable situation: they survive, or the country survives, one or the other, but not both! lol
